Sunday night was a wade in the river, go on hay rides, roast hot dogs, sit around the fire, make s’mores kind of night. We were at a farm that belongs to our friends and I couldn’t help marveling all day at how gorgeous it is there. We live in an area where you never really see the sun come up or go down – tree lines and hills hide it. So seeing the gorgeous sunset from the top of the hill that night was amazing. My camera can’t do it justice! Maria and I kept saying “we’re going to be in that sky in a few days…oh boy. It’s big.” ;)

And on top of that it was so wonderful to do these seemingly simple things and enjoy time with others. The last year of my life has been one big lesson in trusting and loving the Lord…obeying Him in my life. And just getting to see the very real fruits of that, in being with others, was something I treasure. Sunday was the perfect summer night.
